And start the way-back machine, Sherman, we’re headin’ back to 1977! We’ll catch back up with Old Bud and gang still in the Airport jail once we get them out of the jail back in 1977.
Still hacking up a lung now and then, so I’ll keep my comments brief today.
See you Thursday! Enjoy a little McCartney while you’re here!
Wow, is airport security really that uptight? You Americans truly are afraid of everything.
Remember, they were one of the 10 worst bands of the 70s.
That too…. 😛
Thanks to all the fear mongering politicians, most Americans are afraid of their own shadow. It’s stupid. They won’t let an old lady in wheel chair on a plane, who is dying of cancer, because “she may be loaded with explosives and the family kidnapped by terrorists and forced to do it”. That is an unfortunate true story (I don’t recall all the details, but that’s close enough).
So, instead of having one of the best air systems in the world, we’re faced with three hour waits while TSA folks pat us down and look for bombs. I quit flying because of it. I would rather walk then put up with that disgraceful system.
I probably opened up a can of worms here… 😛
If anything, airport security is worse than this. Let a guy into the airport with a self-contained PA system? Let people carry entire guitars onto the plane? Nah…
I know a number of people these days – every one of them respectable and non-political – who flat-out refuse to travel by air, simply because they find the whole ‘security theatre’ bullshit so offensive. If only more people would vote with their feet…as in the feet that stay on the ground in protest…
I just finished catching up to the current one. Jeff is freakin’ awesome. I actually started listening to Immigrant Song because of him. Also it would be totally awesome to date someone like Robyn. She’s hella strong and knows how to work on engines and cars, engines, and other mechanical stuff.
Tom-boys are the best… 🙂
I know I suck but I actually like McCartney better AFTER the beatles.
McCartney was in a band BEFORE Wings? Man…
Hey, his solo stuff is damn good and “Band on the Run” and “RAM” are his best two albums and I still listen to them today. So, no argument from me!
My favorites are “Silly Love Songs” and “Live and Let Die”.
This comic reminds me of the time me, my father, and my brother have defaced every national monument we have visited in some way. Ah good times.
A family that serves time together … stays together!
😛
On that note don’t touch the inside of the Liberty Bell.
They’ve probably been in Guantanamo Bay by this point!
LOL! Yeah, loud music really can piss people off faster than you think… As I speak from experience and having spent more than my share of time at the front door of my apartment chatting with the police over the volume of my stereo…
😛
Maybe this is a chick thing, but what stood out immediately for me – and this is NOT a dis, as the entire page is excellent! – is that Bud has a little bit of grey in his hair. Nice touch!
Well, the old fart artist forgot that Bud was *suppose* to have gray on his temples (as that’s the only place I have any gray myself) and forgot to do it in all of the comic pages since the first one.
DOH!! 😛
But but but you have magic skilz – you could always go back and change the previous ones… 😀
Yes, the magic has been weak of late… also, I’m a lazy ass-hat. Yeah, I need to go back and add in his gray hair. Now that I’m up and about and getting caught up, I shall add it to my list!
🙂
Kewlbeans! Remember, someday someone somewhere will bow to you for taking the trouble…
Love that you’re back with this story – seemed like it wrote itself once the idea inspired you! Stunning artwork.
I’m very happy with the comic’s direction now. It gives me a lot of latitude for stories and subjects and I’m not trapped in 1977 anymore. No matter how much I tried, it was hard for some readers to related to the time-frame of the late 70s.
Now it’s a story more people can relate too. Glad you like it!
Love her bit of sarcasm in the last panel. 🙂
I hope Bud, Loraine and Robyn aren’t sent to GITMO camp X ray locked in steel cages wearing only orange polyester jump suits and flip flops.Then Dick Cheney can give them electro shock treatment and water board them while sounding like Penguin.Swed Carl Von Rosen famous using SAAB MFI 5 safaris in the Nigerian civil war in 1969 though his efforts for the break a way state of Biafra were fore lorn Nigeria won the civil war. Won’t be able to save them he died in 1977 Somalia talk about cruel irony speaking of which too bad it was not the Rico laws or they could dance with a gigolo in sexy little black and pink dresses.
